I was told by chat rep as well as T-Force that I can two lines for $25 with autopay with the BOGO. I am on the old One Plus Promo plan. Can anyone confirm if this is true? I was also told if I decide to get two phones, they'd be $600 off each. One for the paid line and one for the free one.
Originally I was planning on switching over to Go5G Plus but was told that it was increase my bill substantially I decided to not go with the route. I have 9 lines with Kickback that brings my price down to around $120 or so. Thanks to some lines not being used I get this price.

Prompt: Can you write the script of a crossover with Phineas and Ferb, The Fairly OddParents, & Olivia the Pig?
Response:
Title: "An Extraordinary Crossover Adventure"
​
INT. PHINEAS AND FERB'S BACKYARD - DAY
​
The sun shines down on a lively backyard where PHINEAS and FERB, stepbrothers with an insatiable thirst for adventure, are brainstorming their latest project. Suddenly, TIMMY TURNER, wearing his iconic pink hat, appears out of thin air with a confused look on his face.
​
TIMMY TURNER
(looking around)
Whoa! Where am I? This isn't Dimmsdale!
​
PHINEAS
(excitedly)
Hey there! You must be from another dimension. We're Phineas and Ferb, and this is our backyard. Want to join us for an extraordinary adventure?
​
TIMMY TURNER
(grinning)
Sure thing! As long as there's no evil babysitter or talking dog involved.
​
FERB hands TIMMY a toolbox filled with gadgets and devices, and they get to work constructing an interdimensional portal. Meanwhile, OLIVIA, an imaginative and curious young pig, stumbles upon the scene.
​
OLIVIA
(fascinated)
Oh my, what's going on here?
​
PHINEAS
(enthusiastically)
Hey, Olivia! We're about to embark on an incredible adventure. Care to join us?
​
OLIVIA
(with a smile)
Absolutely! I can't resist an adventure. And I've got my trusty red toolbox ready to help.
​
As the portal nears completion, COSMO and WANDA, TIMMY'S fairy godparents, pop in with a sparkle of magic.
​
COSMO
(excitedly)
Hey, Timmy! Did you wish for an adventure?
​
TIMMY TURNER
(chuckling)
No, this time it's all by chance. But I'm glad you guys are here!
​
JIMMY NEUTRON, genius boy inventor from Retroville, flies in on his jetpack.
​
JIMMY NEUTRON
(landing)
Did someone say adventure? Count me in!
​
PHINEAS
(excitedly)
Great to have you, Jimmy! We're about to activate our portal. It can take us anywhere, even to other dimensions!
​
FERB activates the portal, and a shimmering gateway appears in the middle of the backyard. The group gathers, ready to step into the unknown.
​
INT. INTERDIMENSIONAL CROSSOVER - UNKNOWN LOCATION
​
The gang finds themselves in a breathtaking alternate dimension, a fusion of their respective worlds. They explore together, encountering fantastical creatures and magical landscapes.
​
PHINEAS
(amazed)
Look at this place! It's like all our imaginations collided into one!
​
OLIVIA
(exclaiming)
And everything is so colorful and vibrant!
​
As they journey through the dimension, they face various challenges that require their collective skills and ingenuity. PHINEAS and FERB construct marvelous contraptions, JIMMY provides scientific solutions, TIMMY'S fairy godparents grant wishes, and OLIVIA's boundless creativity adds a touch of magic to their endeavors.
​
In the midst of their adventure, they stumble upon DOOFENSHMIRTZ, an eccentric and comical scientist.
​
DOOFENSHMIRTZ
(startled)
Well, well, well! If it isn't a bunch of meddling kids from different dimensions! Prepare to face my -inator!
​
The gang exchanges knowing glances and springs into action, working together seamlessly to foil DOOFENSHMIRTZ's evil plans using their combined skills and powers.
​
PHINEAS
(smiling)
Doofenshmirtz, we believe in the power of friendship and cooperation!
​
With their unity, they thwart DOOFENSHMIRTZ's -inator, inadvertently turning it into a "Friend
​
ship-inator" that spreads harmony and understanding.
​
As they near the end of their adventure, they find themselves facing a towering obstacle, too tall to overcome.
​
TIMMY TURNER
(pondering)
If only we had some sort of magical boost!
​
COSMO
(excitedly)
Hey, what if we combine our magic to create a temporary giant levitation spell?
​
They join forces, and with a shimmer of magic, lift themselves over the obstacle, emerging triumphant on the other side.
​
EXT. PHINEAS AND FERB'S BACKYARD - DAY
​
The group steps out of the portal, back into the familiar backyard, with memories of an extraordinary adventure that will forever bond them.
​
TIMMY TURNER
(grateful)
Thanks, guys. That was one incredible crossover.
​
PHINEAS
(smiling)
No problem, Timmy! We're always up for adventure, no matter the dimension.
​
They bid farewell, each returning to their respective worlds, but forever connected through their extraordinary crossover experience.
​
FADE OUT.

I don't know exactly how familiar everyone is with the term; But I'm creating a crime syndicate in Spelljammer I already have a few rackets but I need more.
Right now I have a few and I know who runs them
An Androsphinx Ixmael who runs an underground gambling den from within the dead bodies of two luck gods (For which it's named) And takes bets in the form of magical items, gold, and even ones own lifespan.
A Dao who is forcing the genasi of his homeworld to mine the rare minerals so they can be processed into powerful machines and weapons
An Annis Hag Spelljammer Captain who makes a drug out of both the Extracted Memories of other Spelljammers and the Legend Lore'd experiences out of the Spelljamming Helm of vessels she's destroyed in order to make an Magically crafted drug called Agony (before you ask the appeal of the drug, it's meant to be like the those snuff BD's in cyberpunk- it's not neccesarily a good experience but people get high off of either the rush of the battle or the experience of another's well... ya know...)
Obviously there is also Extortion Rackets, Blackmail, Information Brokering, I know there are also rackets that involve "lady favors" but considering my group consists mainly of ladies I will not be using those at their request, I can also think of Poaching, Smuggling, and Assassination but I am also looking for more Spelljammer themed crimes as well
You all got any additional ideas?

Former college dropout who ended up getting her BA in Math/Philosophy and now works in data. Hobbies include baking, cooking, painting, listening to all the music, and watching lots of soccer. Fun facts include avid solo traveling, invited to be on national TV once, and having 13 tattoos (yikes). Things highly valued are honesty/integrity, emotional awareness, and sense of humor. Potential red flags: not religious, not into astrology (sorry everyone), use of foul language, 420 friendly, dislikes anime, extroverted but uses Reddit, being sex positive (srsly don't message me if you hate sLuTs), and has a pet snake. Makes up for snake with two adorable cats.
Please be a decent human being who has a penchant for accepting dark humor and not getting easily offended. Ideally between the ages of 26-45, funny, sharp, handsome, above 5'6, and devilishly charming. Just kidding (not really). Be open-minded, think and feel deeply, be empathetic, give a shit, don't be a liar. That's really all I ask.
Message me with a controversial opinion. SFW pics would also be nice. Emphasis on SFW. Thanks!

This is just a short and sweet rant. Anyhoo, I've been dashing for last 3 months, and I've seen some restaurants that saying "Call us at this number, to get employee bring you food", that's cool for safety, but not cool for deaf drivers like me, because we have to use relay service, which takes while to connect to a interpreter, and then able to call. But hearing people have access to just call, without any services needed. And, not just that. Customers too, some of them requested me to call them through buzzer, and I got unsure and texted, and most of time, they don't reply, so I just left the order outside because, they don't reply my text, and give me access as a deaf driver. Buzzer and Calling thing is irritates me most, because. I cannot hear at all.
That concludes my rant, thanks.

Credit for the original story goes to u/spacepaladin15.

Memory transcript subject: Sasha Everett, ex-UN noncombatant
Date [Standardized Human Time]: February 29th, 2177
Location: Upper layer of City 23, Venlil Prime
“I’m going, I’m going! Gojids aren’t— khh-aah! — exactly limber in their older years, Sasha! Right, I don’t see anyone in this hallway either, you can come in.”
Sasha clambered through the window after her talkative gray-quilled friend, slipping through with significantly less effort despite her larger frame. The Rising Star was laughably unsecure; windows were unlocked and at chest height, with no alarm system to speak of. The hotel was in some sort of lockdown due to the exterminator presence, all residents and staff hiding behind locked doors. It would be an issue if their target was stowed in a room, but at least the halls were empty. All that left for security was the exterminators gathered at the entrance, and—
​
“Get back!”
An extended claw stopped her from tripping straight into an intersection, as Burai forced her back into the hallway. “There’s cameras here, they’ll spot you!”
“Haven’t they already seen you? You’re standing right in their view.”
“No, they… I mean, yes, but nobody’ll care about a Gojid in the halls. To a surveillance AI scanning a spaceport hotel, that’s business as usual. But as soon as a human steps out here, security will be notified about a ‘potential predation incident’. Just stay there, and let me… let… w-what?”
“Burai? What’s going on?”
Burai was staring down the hall, eyes rapidly flitting to focus on something which she couldn’t see from her view in the adjacent hall. His jaw was entirely slack for several seconds before he managed to collect himself.
“The, uh… cameras. The cameras are shut down. All of them, they’re staring at the ground and their lights are out. I think you can come out now.”
They had little time to spare, and hesitation would only hurt their chances. She paced out into the corridor alongside Burai, casting a glance down both ways. It was as he’d said; every camera was unlit and staring loosely at the floor. Likely Trish’s doing. No way to tell if (or when) they’d reactivate, so they had to get moving. Burai apparently thought the same, though his relatively stubby legs meant his sprint was about level with her stride.
As they moved through the hall at slightly less than record pace, Sasha began taking in her surroundings. It could be useful to memorize if they had to leave the way they came, so she absorbed every detail she could as they ran like hell/jogged with mild exertion. Orange walls, painted in a stepped gradient from burnt orange to a light cream. A fascinating choice for a world where the native species had orange-colored blood, but apparently they couldn’t be bothered to pretend that prey should be scared of anything bearing the color of their blood anymore. She had to admit, it was a welcome change.
Lining the walls were an assortment of mounted displays. Arranged in a pattern which looked random but was carefully considered for visual balance, they showed an assortment of artwork from every species. She even thought she recognized a few human paintings, mixed alongside the rest of the dizzying collage.
Maybe she had, but it was hard to say for sure. She didn’t have time to get a good look before every panel suddenly went dark at once, with nothing in the way of warning or fanfare. For a brief instant, the hall was filled with rows of ominous black rectangles, before two white lines of text appeared on each and every one:
​
FLOOR THREE LOBBY
LEFT OF VENDING MACHINE
​
The panels switched back to their previous display of artwork almost too quickly to read the message. Sasha was left briefly wondering if she was simply hallucinating from the stress, but Burai’s once-again slack jaw dispelled that notion. He looked up at her, trying to say something but failing for lack of breath.
They were on floor zero. The elevators were disabled due to the lockdown, and the stairs were arranged in such a way that one needed to cross around half the building to get to the next one up (whoever was in charge of planning apparently didn’t consider fire a real issue). If they were to make it upstairs before the exterminators caught up with them, they couldn’t be constrained by Burai’s sluggish pace.
In one beautiful fluid motion, she tore off her jacket, wrapped it around Burai, and picked him up. The thick flame-resistant plastic fiber made for an excellent barrier against his spikes, shielding her from a moderately painful and very embarrassing impalement. Burai squeaked in shock, but didn’t protest; they both knew that he couldn’t keep up with an endurance hunter’s jog. Without even the bare imitation of caution, she tore off towards the stairs with Burai in tow. They couldn’t afford to lose time playing at caution when their target was three floors above them through a bizarrely labyrinthian series of stairs.
—
They’d hardly made it halfway through the second floor when their progress was rather rudely interrupted. A small contingent of exterminators milled about the entrance to the stairwell, too engrossed in conversation to notice the couple of interlopers rapidly skid to a stop and duck behind an archway.
In the reflection of an unpowered screen near the door, Sasha and Burai watched the exterminators from a ‘safe’ distance. The majority of them broke away to rush down another corridor, leaving only two at the stairs: a Venlil and Harchen, judging by their frames. Snippets of their conversation drifted down the empty hall, intermittently cut out by the screeching sound of a broken automatic door repeatedly trying and failing to close.
“—on the first floor, either. You sure they—”
“—way. It has to be here somewhere. ‘Course, Yawi—”
“—d never! You know, that human can’t tell the di—”
On the next screech, Burai made his move. With the noise of the door covering the sound of his approach, he managed to get within meters of the exterminators undetected. At the last second before they noticed his presence, he moved around to make it look like he’d come from another hallway. Then, he drew a breath.
“H-Help! Help me!”
The two wheeled around, flamethrowers already primed before they spotted their assailant. Gojid were generally less than respected owing to their nature as cured predators, but an old man screaming for help didn’t exactly spark fear. Their weapons lowered, and the Venlil flicked a tail in friendly greeting. The Harchen seemed less amused.
“What are you doing outside of your room, Gojid? The hotel’s on lockdown. We’ve gotten notice of a bio—”
“No, no, please don’t make me g-go back there! There’s a… a h-h…”
“A human in your room? Mind telling us what you were doing staying with one?”
“I heard… I heard crying on the outside of the door, so I let him in… I didn’t realize it was…”
The Venlil put a gentle paw over the shaking Gojid. “I understand. Don’t worry, its deception dies with us. You’re safe. Can you tell us what room it’s in now?”
“F-four.. nineteen.”
“I see. Kyura, go check out room 419. I’ll stay here and—”
“Wait! It’s got a… a…”
Burai didn’t finish, choosing to let himself devolve into another bout of feigned fear. In the absence of details, the two would imagine the human to be armed with whatever scared them most. His bet paid off; the Venlil rose to her feet and rushed after the Harchen with her weapon aimed slightly upward at what would be a human’s center mass.
He let his act continue for a few more seconds, apparently waiting until he was certain they wouldn’t double back before scrambling for the stairs. By the time he made his way up to the third floor, she was already beside him and panting slightly.
“What… was that?”
“Improv. You should try it sometime! Anyway, I don’t think we have much time before those idiots realize there’s no room 419 on this floor, so we’re really on the clock. You see what we’re looking for anywhere?”
Sasha kept breathing hard as she scanned the room, before wordlessly rushing off next to a window overlooking a side alley which connected to the one the rest of their their group was perched on. Underneath, a backpack emblazoned with the UN’s logo was stuffed haphazardly next to a vending machine. Apparently, it had been tossed there in a rush as the building was put under lockdown, rather than carefully hidden. She picked it up, looked it over, and nodded at Burai.
“Great. Although…” He looked around the room a few times before returning his attention back to her.
“...unless there’s a parachute in there, I’m not sure it matters much. The lower floors are crawling with exterminators. I don’t see any obvious exits, and I really don’t favor our odds for a 3-story fall. Sasha?”
“Burai, get over here.”
Burai sauntered over as fast as his legs would carry him. She gestured at the window with her head.
“...You can’t be serious.”
“I am. There’s a dumpster below us, we passed it earlier. Filled with fabric, probably a load of blankets they threw out. You’ll be fine. Just cover your head and land feetfirst.”
“Sasha, I think I’d rather burn— AHCK!—”
With Burai in one arm and the backpack in the other, Sasha kicked out the window screen and jumped before she could stop to regret the decision.
​
The brunt of the pain stabbed her side, as a couple of Burai’s spines slipped past her unzipped jacket to jab themselves in her torso. Aside from that minor embarrassing oversight, she was unharmed. Her complete lack of training was handily circumvented by sheer dumb luck and the merciful softness of discarded hotel bedding. By the time she reoriented herself, Burai was already dragging her out of the dumpster. Bedsheets clung to his spikes, but aside from his pride, he too seemed unharmed.
Another hand, or rather bandaged paw, pulled her to her feet. Tressa encircled her like a short fluffy snake, apparently checking for injuries. Satisfied after two coils, he switched to watching their flank as the rest of them regrouped and recuperated. James was helping Burai pick fabric from his spines. Trish eyed the backpack, before turning her attention to the spot of red at her side.
“Sasha, can you move?”
“Yes. It’s just a skin wound, I’ll be fine. Is Beast all set to go?”
James’ muffled voice rang out from behind her. “Practically raring, last I checked! And a good thing too, because we’re skipping town immediately. Don’t have any time for the usual runaround, not with all this unwanted attention.”
As they closed in on the main street, Sasha zipped up her jacket to cover the wound and slung the backpack over a shoulder. She tried to act normal and casual, though the most she could realistically manage in that regard was to cover any limp from the pain in her torso. The rest of them slipped into their rehearsed roles, immediately cutting any discussion about the situation in favor of meaningless small talk which nobody could take notice of. Hopefully, their acting would be enough to cover for her lack thereof.
The street was awash with people, a viscous fluid of bodies pulling every which way. The lively roar of activity would be enough to cover their tracks as they made their way back to Beast, even if the exterminators realized they had a runaway. Still, time worked against them. The sooner they could get going, the better.

Memory transcript subject: Kelsen, Venlil extermination officer
Date [Standardized Human Time]: February 29th, 2177
Location: City 23, Venlil Prime
Kelsen watched through the screen of a digital scope as the ragtag group of predators and predator diseased piled into their little barely-functional van, practically crushing each other for lack of space. Once they were packed in shoulder-to-shoulder like cattle, the pathetic thing sputtered to life and limped out into the street.
They must’ve assumed the van was untraceable owing to its advanced age. It was true that automated systems wouldn’t cooperate, but a tracker planted on the underside would have no issues. Their retreat would lead the law straight back to their den.
Well... OK, so maybe the law could wait a moment. Official practice dictated that anything “contaminated” by predators be burned without delay, but he just couldn’t have that. Since the idiotic Federation-wide ban on near-sentient surveillance AI a couple years ago, their leads on predator subversives were running thinner by the day. A raid could gather invaluable intel.
He already had a squad lined up, with body armor instead of hazard suits and kinetic weapons instead of flamethrowers. He’d even rallied up an investigator, a successfully reeducated human who hunted information rather than helpless prey. It would be such a shame to let all that go to waste and simply burn their hideout to ash; that could always come later. Besides, he’d put far too much effort into tracking this group to simply pour some napalm and call it a day.
His little raid would have to operate outside the law to get results. That hadn’t been an issue to arrange, of course, but it meant that if things went south they wouldn’t get any backup. He couldn’t afford to be hasty about this.
But he couldn’t afford to be passive, either. The facial recognition software they’d used to ID and track the Gojid was already skirting the law; their raiding party was actively flaunting it. Kelsen couldn’t let his noble work fall victim to the chains of bureaucracy.
If he wanted to get away with this, he’d have to do it tonight.

I am in desperate need of help with information of parts. I understand the main use of the parts, but what do the other numbers/letters mean? I just need someone to explain what the different numbers in the PC parts stand for. Thank you for reading this. Also I am up to suggestions for pc builds $1500-$2000.

I've been studying for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) for the past month or so. I was told there's a bunch of overlap between them, with PenTest+ being the easier of the two. I've been using the McGraw-Hill book for that. Viktor Atimov's CEH practice exams (also on Udemy) are pretty ok - lots of typos in his stuff though.
I got the TotalSeminars PenTest+ course/practice exam on Udemy. I honestly didn't review the video content much for that, but the practice tests with that course are pretty spot on.
I did encounter a couple named exploits that weren't mentioned on the PenTest+ Objectives, though the objectives mention the types of exploits, just not specificly named exploits (e.g. EternalBlue gets mentioned on the exam, whereas the objectives just talk about "enumeration").
There's a hefty amount of Python on the exam, so be comfortable writing Python, know why you're writing what you're writing, and be able to debug others' code (that prob helps the most).
Be comfortable on the Linux command line (know file structure and basic commands). As others have said, be very comfortable with nmap. The TryHackMe nmap room is good for learning nmap. The CEH book does a good job explaining it too. Understand the business processes involved with penetration testing, reporting, and cleanup.
Basically, you can use CEH study materials to prep for PenTest+, just review the CompTIA objectives to check for anything that may be different - or to narrow the scope of what you're studying.
CEH is next for me... maybe in a couple weeks. Then maybe CASP? I dunno after that. (Maybe I'll knock out the few remaining CompTIA certs just to have them all.) Who knows.

I have a Omen 16.1 with Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3050ti. For the past couple of days, my games have been stuttering and lagging like crazy and my frametime graph using the MSI Afterburner software shows constant stuttering bars as well. This did happen in the past in fact, and I remember what solved it was setting my power plan, which im using the high performance one, processor power management setting to 99%. However the problem arise again and im not sure how to fix it. I have already DDU my drivers and reinstall the latest ones. It also is not temperature throttling as my temps reach max 80C on my CPU and my GPU rarely reaches 75C. I also reinstalled windows 10 selecting the option to keep my files and did some general windows 10 optimizations. The stuttering was fixed for the first 1-2 days and now it is back. I have an idea that it has something to do with gpu and not getting enough power but im not sure. Im rly rly frustrated about this and any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

“Black lines and classic designs, a place for enthusiasts of traditional American style of tattooing”
I’ve seen posts ranging from Squidward to Sci-Fi. Hoping posts in the future will be more towards the truly American Traditional form of tattooing with bold lines and minimal color use. There have been posts with very nice Neo and New School tattoos, but and there are other subs for that.

Posting for my mom whose retired and my dad who said he didn't want the house. My sibling and I hired an expensive lawyer in Virginia who served my dad the dissolution of marriage paper. To our knowledge he hasn't signed yet because the lawyer didn't update that he had. Problem is that my dad deserted the marriage in 2020 and has been living independently abroad. We told that to the lawyer but he wrote that he left in 2022 September. He said we could amend later. So the house that my parents live in is being paid by my mom me and sibling.
My dad sends a meager 600 to my retired mom whoniust had a stroke a few months ago due to his behavior. Since housing here in va is very expensive and competing and interest rates are high we wanted to keep the house and make renovations on the deteriorating bathroom and kitchen. Since our names aren't on the deed I think its risky. Dad currently lives with someone else abroad.and he's leaving Sunday. Since he may not habe signed the divorce paper and the lawyer hasn't communicated would it be a good idea to just ask him to sign a quitclaim deed so the name in title changes from my parents to my name?
The lawyer said that he may still get equity after the sale when it is sold but we don't plan to sell anytime soon. Houses in this area are averaging 650k and up and renting would be higher. Housing supply is in short demand. Also since the lawyer put in a 2022 date on the document then that means if the house equity is split he'd receive half of whatever the house value is on that year correct? There's a mortgage of 350k.

I seek a serious relationship with an open-minded naturally submissive female who still believes in the traditional family household values and roles (where we're equals, but the man is the primary leader, protector, and provider of the household.)
I’d love to find someone who maybe even wants to travel with me as my co-pilot in my truck as we travel across the country exploring. Also, I’m looking for someone who is okay with an age gap relationship.
About me: I travel America in my big rig 18 wheeler truck chasing sunsets and my dreams. I’m also owner of a small but successful crypto investment company. (I love to talk about Bitcoin) Former Army Officer and combat veteran. Aspiring songwriter and horrible guitar player.
I’m God fearing and marriage-minded. I love the outdoors, and my hobbies include walking, hiking, bicycle, running, camping, picnics, and eating out at restaurants or enjoying a nice romantic dinner at home.
I love to travel and explore new places! Sci-fi, Marvel and Anime fan. ENTJ. Sagittarius. Friends say I’m an intelligent lifelong learner and that I give more than I take.
I am always a gentleman in public. I am an active listener, reserved, and I have a relaxed personality. I work hard, love to be active, and do not get upset or angry. Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am an aggressive, assertive man when I must be.
I am a provider for those I love. I'm very supportive of family and friends. Above all, I honor and support my woman to become a better version of herself.
I like to get outside and do fun things and not sit home all the time. I’m a bit of a foodie who enjoys eating out, going to movies, working out, and reading to improve myself. Part country boy, part city, part nerd, sometimes witty, dominant without being domineering or abusive, sometimes shy.
I’m reserved and laid back without being too boring. I try to stay active/Fit and eat healthy with the occasional cheat day. No beer belly allowed, but secretly working on my dad coffee bod.
I do have a kinky side. (I’m a BDSM Master with a dash of DaddyDom.) One minute we're joking around...and the next, I'm pinning you on the sofa (or against the wall) and getting spicy taking what I want. (You belong to me. Every part of you.) My main love languages are physical touch and affection. I’m okay with online at first, but I want an in person relationship. I love to give praise and positive words of affirmation.
Is this you? You seek LOVE FIRST AND FOREMOST, security, protection, guidance, structure, safety, nurturing, someone to hold your hand, being babied at times, other times being treated as a princess or queen.
You desire hugs and passionate tender kisses, while also occasionally desiring to be chocked or spanked. (It’s complicated.) You’re not into pain, but know there is no love without pain.
Age is a number to you. You have the maturity that comes from facing what life throws at you for a few years, and now discovering that you can deal with it. (Together we can make it from rock bottom to your dreams.)
You love to serve and take care of your man. It’s not so much a kink more than it is just who you are. You are very adaptable to meet my needs, as I meet yours. You believe in completing small acts of service for your man. You believe that giving yourself fully to your partner is the ultimate power exchange and show of devotion and trust.
US: I crave a 1950 American style relationship dynamic with traditional gender roles. I'd love for you to share your day with me; be able to trust me enough to be yourself around me; finally let your guard down, confide in me, submit to me because you trust me to protect you, take care of you, teach--guide--mentor you using my life experience and resources to help you become a better version of yourself.
I promise to provide a safe place for you to relax and explore...just walk in my door and give up control. Let go the worries of your day. You don't have to be in charge here. I've got you now. Let's create a life where you can be free from worrying about everyday problems and stressors, and just get pleasure from having a safe space to explore your feminine energy and desires.
It'll be just you and me against the world.
If you're craving this type relationship dynamic (or want to hitch a ride to enjoy the countryside,) feel free to send me a message with a recent pic and let's chat about your needs, wants, limits, and see if there is chemistry and a connection.

I've been using A111 and SD for a while now. Most recently, I've been playing around with an iterative image-to-image using ultimate sd upscale to get lots of little details added in. It's been fun. However, on the most recent iteration, with the scale size set at 1, the speed absolutely tanked. I was previously getting about 4 it/s, and I'm now getting about 17 s/it.
What could cause this? Aside from dropping the size from 1.05 to 1, the only other change I made from the previous dozens of iterations was to select a previously saved style. My understanding is that this should only apply those saved words and weights to the prompts so shouldn't have much of an impact.

Light construction dust includes drywall, wood, and other miscellaneous dust from small projects.

I have come to see that Racules may be making an act of a tyrant king.
And his battle against Gira like how he did it fairly and did not used underhanded tactics like using God Scorpion’s poison against him.
But something tells me that Racules may be burdened by the sins and actions of either his Husty ancestors, or his father. And the royal family may have dark secrets within…
That brings me to one thing, what if Gira and Husty’s father was a greedy tyrant.
That possible theory was based off of other evil kings in Japanese media.
For example, King Pardis III, a.k.a Osasuna from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

• (https://octopathtraveler.fandom.com/wiki/Pardis)

He is considered a brutal tyrant in the world of Octopath because while he is ambitious, he is also greedy and self-centred as he believes that he alone can rule the continent of Osterra.
And he did so by any means necessary, even at the cost of the deaths of his soldiers and his family members. Like his brother Oswald, his wife Ulrica, and his daughter Elrica.
And those who have seen stories like ones from Octopath Traveler may understand how evil, tyrants like Pardis III (Osasuna) was.
And something tells me that the father of Gira and Racules was as terrible as Pardis III.

• And terrible as Captain Ryūya Asami from Mirai Sentai Timeranger

This also makes me guess that said father was the one who killed Himeno’s parents in Ishabana during the time of the “Wrath of the Gods”.
But what do you guys think?

For context, I am a 23 year old Autistic woman with crippling anxiety. I am talking to a guy who is also 23 and is a MLS player. I went to his house and we had a lovely date. At the end of the date he kissed me and said he wanted to see me again. He is REALLY bad at using his phone. He already acknowledged that he is not good at using his phone. Before I got his number we were messaging through Snapchat and he still has not opened snaps from over a week ago, even though we saw each other three days ago in person for our first date.
In all honesty, I was at his place to throw the cat around, if you catch my drift. We ended up going for a walk around his neighborhood and he made me dinner from scratch. We have a lot in common and our core values align. I've fallen head-over-heels for this man and that's not like me.
I texted him asking if he wanted to make gluten free cookies together next week (we're both gluten free) and haven't heard from him. Normally I would be like "this person is ghosting me", but I know he has had games and publicity stuff all this week for his MLS team. The way our date ended and the way he acted towards me points to him being interested but his communication style (or lack thereof) is so very confusing for anyone, but especially an autistic individual.
I don't know what to do because this is someone I really like. I've never felt this way about anyone ever.

Welcome to June, and also the latest Project: Gorgon update! This update contains a new much-requested skill, Angling, as well as new UI features, quests, balancing, and a ton of bug fixes.
Bugs!
Update: the following are known bugs in this update -- no need to report them. If you see OTHER bugs, please report them!

• Animal forms are able to angle - kind of - and that is unintentional. Angling is intended to require hands.
• The Angling ability 'Catch and Release' gives 25% XP, not 25% bonus XP.
• You can target certain angling fish before they exist. You shouldn't be able to target them at all.
• Some of the angling abilities have old test descriptions.
• The new AoE indicator doesn't display in some outdoor areas.

Main Story

We've expanded the main story quest-line by a few steps. If you've already reached the point in the storyline where you were asked to have dinner with Jessina (via a hang out), the hang out is now available, and you should log in to see that your character has a "reminder quest" to hang out with Jessina.

New Camera Types

Players come to us from different games with different control schemes and camera views, and they often ask us if we can imitate the camera styles they're used to. So we gave it a try! We know that getting movement behavior just right can be tricky, so please give us feedback on how these work for you.
There are now 3 camera types to choose from, located in Settings > Controls:

• Traditional Camera: How the camera has always worked. Right-click rotates your character, left-click rotates only the camera. Mouse is always available.
• Free Camera: Camera control is completely separate from character control. Mouse is always available.
• Action Camera: Mouse movement always controls character. Mouse cursor is only available when a UI window is open, or when the Toggle Cursor key is pressed (configurable). NOTE: only available in the new selection system!

AoE Visibility

Area-of-Effect abilities that are centered on the caster now have a visualization for their range.

• When an ability is used, the AOE range briefly displays on the ground as a circle.
• When an AOE ability icon is hovered over, its AOE range displays on the ground for as long as it's hovered over.
• Visibility is configurable via Settings > GUI > Windows & HUD > Abilities & Items > "Show Beneficial AOE Areas" & "Show Detrimental AOE Areas". By default they are "Party Members Only" & "Self Only" respectively. Detrimental enemy AOEs will always display.
• Many "aura"-type pets display their aura ranges in a similar fashion, such as a druid's Healing Sanctuary or a fairy's Fae Conduit. These should also follow the visibility settings described above.
• Note: as of this update, all AoE abilities are centered on the caster, except for two Weather Witching abilities that are explicitly centered on the target. Previously, all AoEs were centered on the target, but the game didn't say that anywhere, and most players assumed it was centered on the caster! So this seems much more intuitive. But if there are specific AoE abilities that you feel should be centered on the target instead of the caster, please let us know and we'll consider it.

Angling

Traditionally, fishing in Project: Gorgon has involved scooping fish up out of the water with your bare hands -- what we might call 'tickling' the fish. And that's fine, as far as it goes. It takes real skill! But not all fish can be caught this way. (And more importantly, players have told us that an MMO "needs" to have traditional fishing in order to feel like a complete MMO.)
So we've expanded Fishing with a new sub-skill: Angling. All you need is a fishing pole, some bait, and a body of water with catchable fish. (Also Fishing 15. And hands!) In order to get started, talk to Roshun the Traitor in Serbule.
The precise mechanics of Angling aren't spelled out in the game at the moment. Since this game focuses on exploration, we expect players to be able to figure out how Angling works. Please let us know what parts of the system were hard to figure out, and we'll work to make those bits more obvious.

Skills & Abilities

From here out (and probably through the rest of beta), we'll be making small balance changes. We don't want to overnerf/overbuff things, so most changes will be relatively modest, and then we'll re-evaluate and adjust further after more observation.
Warden:
We've revised the formulae used for damage reflection, which resulted in nerfs to Privacy Field. On the other hand, multiple bug fixes actually increase the Warden's power significantly in other ways.

• Privacy Field abilities: reduced base ability damage (Privacy Field 5 changed from 196 -> 138)
• Treasure: "Privacy Field deals +60 damage to all melee attackers, and the first melee attacker is knocked away": 60 => 42
• Treasure: "Privacy Field also deals its damage when you are hit by burst attacks, and damage is +86": 86 => 47
• Treasure: "Privacy Field also deals its damage when you are hit by ranged attacks, and damage is +57": 57 => 48
• Treasure: "When Privacy Field deals damage, it also ignites the suspect, dealing 156 damage over 12 seconds": => 156 => 80. Note: previously this effect did not work at all, so this is technically a huge buff, not a nerf!
• Treasure: "While Privacy Field is active, melee attacks that hit you have a 100% chance to restore 20 Power to you" : 100% chance => 75% chance. Note: previously this effect did not work at all, so this is technically a huge buff, not a nerf!
• Treasure: "Apprehend deals +48 damage and hastens the current reuse timer of Controlled Burn by 2 seconds (so it can be used again more quickly)" : 2 seconds -> 1.5 seconds. Note: previously this effect did hasten Control Burn at at all, so this is technically a huge buff, not a nerf!
• Controlled Burn: area-of-effect reduced from 15 meters to 10 meters.
• Aggression Deterrent: area-of-effect reduced from 10 meters to 6 meters.

Weather Witch:

• New ability Summon Sandstorm: This is a variant of Summon Tornado intended to be more convenient in groups. It does not knock back foes, instead dealing bonus Armor damage. All tiers of this ability can be learned from the Sand Seer in Ilmari.
• New rare ability Summon Doomstorm: This is a variant of Summon Tornado. It does not knock back foes. Instead it deals Darkness damage. Damage is improved over base version. This pet is marked as undead for purposes of ability targeting. In other words, heals that don't work on undead don't work on this pet either. Buffs that work on undead DO work on this pet. For now, all tiers of this ability can be found as loot scrolls.
• Fixed bug that caused high-level summoned tornados to move incredibly fast. Normalized tornado speeds.
• Summoned tornadoes accidentally had vulnerability stats for Cold Spheres. They now correctly have vulnerability stats for Tornadoes.

Giant Bat:

• "Your Confusing Double deals +67% damage with each attack": 67% => 45%
• "Confusing Double summons an additional figment. Each figment deals +77 damage with each attack": 77 => 50
• "Confusing Double Reuse Timer -15": -15 => -10

Fire Magic:

• "Fire Breath hits all targets within 8 meters and deals +30.5% damage, but reuse timer is +3 seconds and Power cost is +33%" => "Fire Breath hits all targets within 8 meters and deals +60 damage, but reuse timer is +3 seconds and Power cost is +40"

Settings

• The "Reset" button in Settings now resets the currently-selected tab to its default settings. The old functionality, undoing all current changes, is still doable by simply closing the window.
• Added new experimental settings for Tab Targeting. You can find them in settings under GUI > Targeting > Tab Targeting (Experimental).
  • Combat Range: Control the max range of tab targeting when you are in combat.
  • Combat Lock: If your current target is in combat, only other in-combat enemies will be targeted via tab, unless none are in view.
  • Prioritize Unlooted Corpses: When tabbing through corpses, should all un-looted corpses be targeted before looted corpses?
  • You can now tab through targets as quickly as you can press the button.
• Overwriting a keybind that's already bound now shows a confirmation prompt, including the name of the keybind being overwritten.
• Reorganized and renamed several Settings, to make them more intuitively grouped and easier to find.

UI Changes

• "Controls" settings have been organized into Camera & Character controls, with sub-menus.- Allow clicking through entities in the new UI, similar to how it works in the old UI. If you click on something that's already selected, it selects the entity behind it (if there is one).
• Reduced precision of click-selecting entities, so they can be selected without hovering directly over them.
• All stat bars (and globes) now smoothly animate when they change, instead of statically changing to the new value.
• Item stack size font now resizes properly for vaults (including saddlebag).
• Fixed nameplate placement for mounted humanoids.
• Fixed bug causing mouse cursor to disappear completely if mouse-dragging while zoning.
• Fixed bug that caused very large tooltips not to display sometimes.
• Removed hover-text about avatar portraits coming soon -- because they're here now! We live in the future!
• Ability tooltips now display Special Values before Special Info, as those make more sense grouped together with the other numerical data.
• Polished the lootable-corpse particles a bit.
• Nameplates now fully fade out with distance instead of just the names.
• Better handling of left-clicking nothing to deselect your current target.
• Improved display of Crafting button when no hotkey is assigned.
• Fixed quest window display bug when objective count number was very large.
• Removed the "1" from the item slot in the bug report window.
• Fixed bug causing stack sizes of items in the sidebar to get out of sync.

Graphics & Animation

• Wolves & cows now animate at proper speed when going up and down hills.
• Replaced wolf's Hunting Speed animation with a howl animation.
• Polished bard animations, so they flow together better now. The play-lute animation now always plays when you are playing a bard song, even if you use other abilities while playing the song.
• Improved instrument-playing animations.
• New VFX (animations, particles, & shader effects) for all Battle Chemistry abilities.
• You can no longer auto-move while jumping. Doing so previously resulted in some very strange-looking animations.
• Fixed weird animation bug when trying to do certain things while sitting or kneeling.
• Failure to interact with something now returns the player to idle stance.
• Fixed bug with Thentree armor causing weird shadows on male characters.
• Mage Armor is now more polished, a bit darker, and has glowier gems
• Fixed bug that would cause a dancing pig's mud to stick around forever.
• Fixed bug where mounting while dancing would continue some dancing effects.
• Improved texture for Spring Fairy armor.
• Fixed face cam for Pigeons.

Other Bug Fixes & Tweaks

• Some legacy equipment that should have been Mastercrafted wasn't. Those items should be fixed now.
• When you un-legacy equipment by pulling an invalid power off of it at the transmutation table, the legacy and broken state of that equipment is now properly updated.
• Fixed bug allowing recipe items to be summoned from anywhere.
• Updated Shadow Feint tooltip to display the correct AOE distance for blinking back to position.
• Phrenology-based Mentalism & Psychology bonuses to critical chance now properly affect heals.
• Improved logic related to channeling abilities; this should hopefully fix stuck-in-channel bugs.
• Modified Mutation Injection ability descriptions to make it a bit clearer how they work.
• Lycanthropy ability "Become Wolf": the skill check to disable wolf mode is no longer downleveled when your combat skills are downleveled.
• Newly learned abilities, Wild Endurance, & First Aid should now correctly auto-rerank.
• Dying by falling through the world now shows a special button in the death window, "Teleport to Last-Touched Ground", which teleports your dead body to the last ground you were standing on. While this isn't an ideal solution, it should allow you to be revived in party situations
• Fixed bug causing skeleton warrior pets to repeatedly retreat a short distance when fighting something.
• Astounding Cloth Shirt (Max-Enchanted) and Camouflaged Astounding Shirt (Max-Enchanted) recipes now require the correct ingredients.
• Pressing spacebar while in an animal-mount form will no longer play the horse neighing sound.
• Fixed typo in Evasion Boots (Enchanted) recipes.
• Changed icon color for Acid Bomb to more of an acid-y color (and match the new VFX).
• Acid Boost Potion recipe now correctly states that it lasts 30 minutes.
• Fixed typo in quest "Holistic Wellness: Yarn" (twelve -> twenty-four balls of yarn).
• The tsys mod, "Psi Health Wave grants all targets +X Mitigation vs. Electricity, Acid, and Nature attacks for 20 seconds" now displays in the effects list when it's active.
• Fixed Dwarven Fixer causing screen brightness (instead of hiding it).
• "Toxic Flesh" tooltip now takes poison damage buffs into account.
• Using Objective Orienteering on "The Borghild Lead" quest now leads to the correct area.
• Fixed typo in quest "The Borghild Lead" (south -> north).
• Harry now hints more strongly that his Minor Panacea will not cure ALL curses, just a specific one.
• The quest "Goblin Avenger: Ratkin!!!" now correct gives 10 Xedrite.
• JSON users: Note that in skills.json's level-up rewards, "Ability" can now refer to a single ability or an array of abilities.

Hi everyone, my name is Chris. I am a 24m from Canada. I made a video on Youtube about strategies that I use to cope with NVLD. It's my first time doing this sort of thing. I would greatly appreciate anyone's constructive feedback or comments, and maybe we can open a discussion for strategies that people use to help them? Thank you so much for your time! https://youtu.be/ghmL7wf_w2U

If you've clicked on my profile, you have willingly admitted defeat. My opinions are objectively correct, and yours are objectively rancid retarded shit, despite opinions being subjective. That's just the extent of how wrong you are and how right I am. This is my secondary account, which i use to shit on others and get out scot-free. Get shit on, loser. The title of the subreddit applies to * Y O U *. I would tell you to get fucked, but we all know there's absolutely negative chance of you losing your virginity, let alone losing those extra 340 pounds of lard on your ass, fat-ass.
Trans rights? No, they've never done anything right. They're just delusional mentally handicapped failures, and all they want to do is rape and mutilate children.
The reason Japan is so prosperous is because of their vehement racism and xenophobia. Although, when I say "Phobia", it's a lot like the "phobia" in 'transphobia'. It's not fear, it's absolute disgust and hatred. We should apply similar tactics here in America. Let all the white, non-Jewish people who DON'T have a dual citizenship with Israel run the place, put all the shitskins and monkeys into enclosures and maybe a couple zoos, burn Biden at the stake, publicly skin the Clintons alive, and leave the Obamas in wooden stocks until they starve to death and are eaten by vultures. We should close off the borders, I'm sure all the Americans in Texas will appreciate that, and become isolationist again. It's for the better of America, which means it's better for the entire world. If America dies from a rotten gaping wound known as the democrats - much like how troons are dying from a rotten gaping axe wound and the holes in their zippered tits - then the whole world will become as much of a shitshow as London at best and North Korea at worst. And believe me, London is worse than dog shit.
They say Hitler did nothing wrong, but I can say at least one thing he did get wrong. He didn't finish the job.
To conclude, you're retarded and ugly, I win because I'm literally better than you, Americans need to put America first, and all 100% of trannies should join the 40% or 50% who fucking k i l l themselves. Hurry up already, faggot. Nobody wants you around, and the children will be a lot happier to know that their least favorite clown won't be reading pedophilic propaganda to them anymore.

Ok I have zero knowledge on the subject so my first question is, is this the best sub for me? If not, can somebody suggest a good one for beginners? My second question is, I just bought a small hydroponic grow system with 12 pods etc. on Amazon.is this a good thing to use? I haven’t received it yet so I can still cancel. I realize I should have asked before ordering but it was 50% off and I guess I went momentarily crazy. I just want to grow a few personal use plants. Please forgive my ignorance on the subject but I do want to learn.
